2025 30 Over 30 Buckle Ceremony: A Celebration of Western Women Who Lead with Legacy

Yesterday, in the heart of Fort Worth’s historic Stockyards, we gathered at the iconic Tannahill’s venue for an unforgettable afternoon celebrating grit, grace, and the women who embody the spirit of the West.

The 2025 30 Over 30 Western Life & Style Buckle Ceremony honored thirty remarkable women over the age of 30 who are leaving an undeniable mark on the Western industry. From business owners to doctors, community leaders to creators each honoree was recognized not just for what they’ve accomplished, but for the legacy they continue to build.

We were proud to partner with Women’s Rodeo World Championship to host this meaningful event and shine a well-deserved spotlight on the powerhouse women who often work behind the scenes to keep the Western way of life alive.

Every honoree received a custom buckle crafted by Alamo Saddlery, symbolizing the hard-earned respect and resilience that defines this community. Thoughtful gifts from our generous sponsors added an extra touch of appreciation, including contributions from Montana Silversmiths, Rancher Hat Bar, Rusty Brown Jewelry, Ali Dee, Morris Kay Furs and Ranch Raised.

It was more than a ceremony, it was a moment of acknowledgment, celebration, and connection. A reminder that age is not a limitation, but a badge of wisdom and perseverance.

Here’s to the women leading with heart, riding forward with purpose, and proving every day that the best is yet to come.
